It has been over 5 years since the original RG-D model wheel was launched in 2010. In 2016, this model has been revamped and introduced as the RG-D2.

Initially the D in RG-D designated a specific straight/deep outer rim design, think 'D' as is 'Deep Dish.' However, this time around the RG-D2 includes a step-lip rim and three types of concave spokes in the classic RG 6-spoke style. The change actually makes the RG-D2 into a shape more closely aligned with the original RG wheel; the new design is actually the classic design made with today’s modern tech.
